The present invention is directed to improvements in cooking stoves and is particularly designed for outdoor use. p The primary object of the invention is to provide a stove which is portable and can be readily assembled for use or disassembledfor storage.

- Another object of the invention is to. provide a stove which has itstop so constructed that vessels varying in size and shape can be effectively used for cooking purposes."

Another object of the invention is to provide a stove so constructed that wood orcoal may be used'for fueland the heat directed upwardly so as to more effectively heat the to of the stove. I ith these and other objects in view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arsists of side walls 2 and frontand rear walls 3 andt'respeotively, the end walls being secured to the side walls by bolts 5. p I

The top 6 is secured to the flanges 7 of the end walls by bolts 8, said top having car.-. ried thereby, near its rear end, a thimble 91 for connection with a smoke pipe 10.

A baffle plate 11 is provided and has its 40 ends secured to the side walls 2 by bolts 12,

said plate having a curved upper section'13,

theupper edge of which is spaced from the top 6, as clearly shown in'Figure 2 of the drawings. a V

45 The plate 11 has a flange 14 upon its front face which is directed toward a flange 15 carried-by the inner face of the frontwall 3. A grate 16 is providedan'dconsists of sections 17, the ends of which are removably construction, operation, and many advan mounted upontheflangesll l and 15 to main 119a, varieta 5 4,,"

The front wall 3'has'formed therein a draft e eniag 18 and aim! feed1opening 19, and associated with the respective openin doors 20 and 21,;said doors being pref ez'ably of theT'swingin'g t e; e The openin 18 also serves as a means orremoving asges'from under thegrate and the yeniently regulated upon adjusting thcdoor- LO' r ,Q Thetop" 6 provided *witharalativdy largeopening 22, rectangular in contour, and in which is engaged a lid 23, said lid havin an opening 24 therein for receiving the li' 25. The opening 24 and the lid 25 are also of rectangular formation. Obviously, the lids 23 and 25 can be removed in order that a vessel of rectangular shape can be engaged over the opening 22, or, if a smaller similarly shaped vessel is used, the lid 25 is removed on y. w t

In Figure 4, the lid 26 normally closes. the opening'22 and this lid differs from the lid 23 in that a circular opening 27 is provided in lieu of the rectangular opening, so that a ring lid 28 and a circular lid 29 may be ea mation can be placed over the openings, when desired. a a s It'will be obvious that the heat from the fire will be directedby the curved section 13 of the plate 11 toward the topof the stove and will assist the draft.

The stove may be made from cast iron or'steel and since the parts thereof are bolted together it can bereadily disassembled, when A stove constructed in accordance with my invention can be placed directly upon the ground and in a yard and away from, dwellings to prevent the likelihood Ioffires, and since vessels of; various sizes and shapes can be used, the stove will prove extremely useful for canning, preserving, and cooking stock foods.
